A crash involving a commercial vehicle closed the Tok Cutoff in both directions early Monday near Slana, on the main route from the Alaska Highway to Anchorage and Southcentral Alaska.

Alaska 511's alert, issued at 5:28 am, placed the crash near milepost 60, where the Nabesna Road turns off toward Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, and estimated the closure would last about two hours. By late morning, 511 no longer showed an alert or a closure on the road.

The alert did not say whether anyone was hurt or what caused the crash.
